Edible Rice Paper

[Stone]

I'm thinking of making White Torrone. The recipe calls for it to be spread over edible rice paper. Where can I find this in New York?

Also, the recipe calls for heating the stuff in a copper pot. Is copper necessary?

Shouldn't any well stocked Asian market carry this item? It's used as the outside wrapper of fresh spring rolls in Vietnamese cooking and I believe there are some Chinese and Thai dishes that use it also. Should be no more than $2 - $2.50 per package.

It's not the same stuff.

The asian rice wrappers are much thicker and are soaked in water to make them pliable.

The pastry stuff is paper thin and would fall apart in water.

You might check Fante's. I checked the site and nothing came up under rice papers but if you call them, you may find they do stock them.
